Production of rich media content isn’t just for Hollywood anymore; businesses of all sizes and from all industries are capturing, editing and producing content. Chances are, you’ve got your share of challenges storing, sharing and organizing this content. Image, audio and video file sizes are growing dramatically thanks to the prevalence of high-definition and the increased adoption of even higher resolutions like 2K and 4K. New content tends to pile up fast, often with no good way to locate it, let alone efficiently collaborate with your colleagues to ultimately distribute the final product.
WHY ARE CURRENT APPROACHES FALLING SHORT?

So you have all of your footage, but where do you store it all? And how do you organize it? A shelf full of loose hard drives is not the answer to asset library management, and neither are expensive silos of proprietary platforms and storage. Designing an integrated, open-platform system that can manage content and assets throughout the workflow, from ingest to archive is critical to producing your final work.

MAM (media asset management) solutions to keep track of your growing hours and terabytes of content are available from a host of vendors, offering enterprise features that promise more efficient workflows and faster production. While effective, these enterprise features have only been available to just that – the enterprise. MAMs can be expensive and complex with long implementations, potentially putting them out of reach of the average media producer.

Maximizing productivity requires a reliable, available, easy-to-manage and easy-to-scale storage solution. When you consider that 4K video can require as much as 1.5TB per hour, it’s no surprise that falling short on capacity is a common issue. The ability to grow with your content can be hindered by a storage vendor’s scalability options, often requiring disruption or even expensive forklift upgrades.
